"And you have perused all the papers?'
continued Mr. Nies.
"l've read every paper, every speech, every
affidavit, every decision, every argument, "
said the stranger, as if repeating a formula.
| Mr.. Wiles attempted to conceal his embar-
rassment by an easy, right handed smile,
that went off sardonically on the left, and
continued: "Then hope, my dear sir, that,
having thoroughly mastered the case, you
| are inclined to be favorable to us!'
| The gentleman i'll the bed did not reply, but
apparently nestled more closely beneath the

"Hev you friend within call!' interrupted
the recumbent man, gently.

Wiles OF course, any name you might sug-

picious and wrathful
'Mebbe a stranger might do! l reckon
thar's one passin' in the hall Call him in
he'll do!7
Wiles opened the door little impatiently,
yet inquisitively, as Dobbs passed. The man
in bed called out, ooh, stranger!" and, as
Dobbs stopped, said, "Come yar"
Dobbs entered a little timidly, as was his
habit with strangers.
II don't know who you be-nor care, l
reckon" said the stranger. "This yer man"
pointing to Wiles-"is Wiles. I'm Josh Sib-
blee of Fresno, member of congress from the

his name is Wiles-hez bin tryin his d-dest
to get bribe onto Josh, and Josh, QUITO re-
spect for his constituents, is jist waitin' for
some stranger to waltz in and stop the d-dest
fight"
But, my dear Mr.. Sibblee, there must be
some mistake" said Wiles, earnestly.
Mistake! Strip mel"
NO! Mop said Wiles, hurriedly, as the
simple-minded Dobbs was about to draw
down the coverlid.
Take him away" said the Hon. Mr.
Sibblee, "before disgrace my constituency.
They said I'd be in Jail afore 1 get through
the session. Eff you've got any humanity,
stranger, shake him out, and pow'ful quick,
too"
Dobbs, quite white and aghast, looked at
Wiles and hesitated. There was a slight
movement in the bed. Both men started for
the door, and the next minute it closed very
decidedly on the member from Fresno.

-
and certainly was not Of a quality that Mr..
Wiles, at present. would have cared to ex-
pose For, in spite of Mr.. Wiles' discom-
future, he still had enough experience of char
acter to know that the irate member from
Fresno would be satisfied with his own pecu-
liar manner of yindicating his own personal
integrity, and would not make public scan
dial of it. Again, Wiles was convinced that
Dobbs was equally implicated with Cash
wiler and would be silent for his own sake.
So that poor Dobbs, as is 100 often the fate of
simple but weak natures, had full credit for
duplicity by every rascal in the land
From which it may he inferred that nothing
occurred to disturb the security of Gashwiler.
When the door closed upon Mr.. Wiles he in
dited note which, with a costly but exceed
ingly distasteful bouquet-rearranged by his
own fat fingers, and discord and incongruity
visible in every combination of color-he sent
off by special messenger. Then he pro-
ceeded to make his toilet-an operation rarely

which there was grossly too much, and added
a white waistcoat, that seemed to accent his
rotundity, he completed his attire with
black frock coat of the latest style, and sur
veyed himself complacently before mirror.
1t is to be recorded that, however satisfactory
the result might have been to Mr.. Gashwiler,
it was not SO to the disinterested spectator

sentative of Remus, have lent my official
aid! Do you mean to say that you have de
ceived my constituency, whose sacred trust
hold, in inveigling me to hiding crime from
the Argus eyes of justices" And Mr.. Cash
wiler looked towards the bell-pull as if about
to summon a servant to witness this outrage
against the established Judiciary.
THE murder, if it was a murder, tool;
place before Garcia entered upon this claim,
or had footing in this court" returned
Wiles, blandly, "and is no part of the
record"
"You are sure it is not spread upon the
record?"
II am You can judge for yourself"
Mr.. Gashwiler walked to the window, re-
turned to the table, finished his liquor in a
single gulp, and then, with a slight resump-
tion of dignity, said:
"That alters the case"
Wiles glanced with his left eye at the con-
gresham. The right placidly looked out of
the window. Presently he said quietly, "rve
brought you the certificates of the stock; do
you wish them made out in your own name~
Mr. Gashwiler tried hard to look as if he
were trying to recall the meaning of Wiles'
words Oh.-ah!-umph!-let me see-oh,
yes, the certificates. certainly! OF course
you will make them out in the name of my
secretary, Mr. Expectant Dobbs. They will
perhaps repay him for the extra clerical
labor required in the prosecution of your
claim. He is worthy young man. Although
not a public officer, yet he is so near to me
that perhaps am wrong in permitting him
to accept fee for private interests An
American representative cannot be too
cautious, Mr. Wiles Perhaps you had better
have also a blank transfer. The stock is,
understand, yet in the future. Mr.. Dobbs,
though talented and praiseworthy, is poor;
be may wish to realize. If some-abem!
some friend-better circumstanced should
choose to advance the cash to him and run
the risk-why it would only be an act Of
kindness"
"You are proverbially generous, Mr.. Cash
wiler," said Wiles, opening and shutting his
left eye like dark lantern on the benevolent
representative.
Youth, when faithful and painstaking,
should be encouraged, replied Mr.. Gashwaer.

"But Garcia's on our side,' rejoined Cash

"Yes, but she is bought by the ring"

to sigh over the inequalities Of fortune that
wasted opportunities on the less skillful

"Pedro! life and death-what's all this?"
said the astonished Gashwiler.
Wiles saw his blunder, but saw also that he
had gone too far to stop. "Pedro," he said,
"was strongly suspected of having murdered
Concho, one of the original locaters."
